The Yellow Jackets had the ball in the final minute of OT with
the score tied at 78 but N.C. State's Jordan Vandenberg stole
Kameron Holsey's overthrown pass into the post with about 35
seconds left.

The Wolfpack called a timeout with 30.6 seconds remaining and
milked most of the clock before Warren cut across the lane and
knocked down a jumper over two Georgia Tech defenders.

The Yellow Jackets then hurried downcourt but Lee drew a
charging foul on Golden with 2.5 seconds left. Turner was then
fouled on the inbounds pass for N.C. State.

Quinton Stephens scored a career-high 13 points and Marcus
Georges-Hunt added 13 more for Georgia Tech, which could've won it
in regulation.

Lee tied it at 72 for N.C. State when he put back Warren's
missed drive with 22.5 seconds left.

The Yellow Jackets called a timeout with 16.1 seconds left to
set their offense but Golden's kickout 3 with about a second left
failed to draw iron.

Miller surpassed his previous high of 20 points, set two months
ago against Dayton, for Georgia Tech. His jumper from the elbow
with just under 16 minutes left made it 52-41.

But behind consecutive 3-pointers about 40 seconds apart by
Lewis, the Wolfpack clawed back in it.

Lewis later knocked down a jumper in traffic with 9 minutes left
to pull the Wolfpack to 57-56, and Desmond Lee's up-and-under layup
2 minutes later gave N.C. State its first lead since midway through
the first half at 62-61.
